For something different, in today's video I'm going back into the archives and reacting to my own bodybuilding forum posts from nearly 20 years ago when I myself was a bodybuilding beginner/gym newbie. As a gym beginner there were a lot of things I got wrong and many silly things I did throughout the initial stages of my fitness journey and it's quite entertaining to look back on it now. If you yourself are still a novice lifter then keep in mind that every advanced lifter out there started off as a bodybuilding beginner themselves and that it takes time to learn the ropes when it comes to building muscle, losing fat and gaining strength. Hope you find this video enjoyable. Related tags: muscle building beginner, gym newbies guide, beginner bodybuilding.

Mom: You can't take creatine

14 year old Sean is admirably determined and hilarious.

[Mr.Pp]

This 14 year old Sean would make a great teen comedy movie about a teen wanting to be a bodybuilder.

[adrianb]

Sean "sleeping" with college gf: "Hold on babe, I need my protein. This "workout" is killing my gains." 🤣

[RazakAr]

Kids these days: *HELP! My Mom won't let me take SARMS.* 😭

[juliogomez]

For a 14 year old, you surely had some respectable knowledge about fitness even if some things were wrong.

[whysogiggly]

Even 15 year old Sean looks better than current day me! I’m in awe lol

[PauIdenino]

I'm impressed by how based you were as a teen. 😂
Most adults these days don't even know what you knew back then about training.

[stevenwilson]

Cant believe how good you look at such a young age. I never really had any muscle. I tried for a little bit but was just a tall, super skinny kid. I never really looked fit till I actually applied myself starting on my 40th birthday. I am 41 now and can actually see my abs for the first time in my life! I owe a lot of my recent progress to this channel along with a few select others here on YouTube.

That ghetto weight setup with the rocks and wheelbarrow you had gives me bad flashbacks of covid lockdown workouts.

[Tokiomy]

Even 20 years ago as a teenager you knew more about fitness and the human body than most people know today and they have been lifting for years.

[sjappiyah]

I love how articulate you were as a teen, and then you’d randomly get angry and just go off 😂.
Ahhhh the duality of an adolescent male

[rajpranjal]

Only men with that kind of determination go far in life.

[FitLabb]

I started training at 14 years old as well, & made many mistakes in those early years. I also dealt with body dysmorphia issues for several years back then too, so I totally identify with what you went through.

[tomlazoriksuccessfitness]

That was like 85% relatable and 15% “what the…” 🤣

[WiggyJiggy]

Pretty blessed to have found you tbh, glad that you grew up body building to give us the ins and outs from you experience. Your sacrifice is the community's gain, and for that I'm thankful.

[idkhbu]

honestly, young sean was not wrong about a lot of things here.. it was just the delivery that needed some work 😂

My god I've been, for the last 3 years, trying to tell people exactly this.
My father used to bodybuild back in the 90s and was quite successfull with his gains. For protein he would drink raw eggs immediately, followed by a milkshake (more towards a smoothie than an actual milkshake) because he didn't like the taste of raw eggs.
Now my father didn't really know or care too much about calories, but since he had a very hard busy job (alongside amazing genetics), I doubt the extra (300/400) calories made too big of a negative impact.
This essentially made my mother keen on feeding me milkshakes to get gains when I started working out. I really appreciate how willing she was to make a milkshake for me every day, however I told her that the milkshake isn't what made my father jacked, it was the protein and weight training. She more or less accepted it but it took some time for her to completely understand that milkshakes aren't the key.

Sorry for the long ass essay, just got a huge wave of nostalgia from what you were saying!

[matwx]

Nice. You were always very articulate, introspective, & honest even as a teen. The essence still remains!
